I just realized why my eyes keep watering

[FrostGiant]

My damn monitor has a barely noticeable vibration. It's enough to make the small print blurry. This is driving me nuts. Someone better fix this for me, and soon.

 

[lizard]

do you have any electrical appliances next to your monitor, like a fan? sometimes you can move things like that further away and the vibration will stop.

 

[FrostGiant]

No. There's nothing. I think they just gave me some leftover equipment seeing as I'm just a temp and all.

 

[avi]

you might just need to change the monitor's refresh rate. the same thing has happened to me before.

control panel -> display -> settings -> advanced -> monitor

 

[FrostGiant]

thnks. that's mucho better.

 

[FrostGiant]

Oh wait. I can't change it without it changing the screen resolution.

Magic is the answer. Magic and peanut oil.

my mother told me her mother had a problem with her tear-ducts and once a month they had to stick a thin wire in there. i don't know if they would still do that now, this being like forty years ago.

just saying because thats what happened with the tears and all.

 

[Firedwarf]

Yeah, change the refresh rate if you can. You're probably at 60hz, right?

The monitors at work give me a headache sometimes because I have to stare at them all day and they're at 60hz. Don't go too high, though. Could screw up your monitor, or so I hear. Go with like 70hz - 75hz, or whatever your monitor allows.

 

[FrostGiant]

Actually it's at 75. When I turn it down it stops shaking but then the resolution is fkd.

don't put salt in your eyes.

 

[FrostGiant]

What? Why?

 

[ChromeLife]

don't put salt in your eyes.

As if that has anything to do with it.
